Introduction
Sony decided to remove all drivers for Windows 7 and older devices, so now, downloading drivers from the original Sony website is impossible.
However, by simply using one website, you can find many of them in a few seconds.
This guide is complementary to Download drivers using sonyvaiodriver.com and a copy of ftp.vaio-link.com. Please use this guide if the first one does not work for you.

The information we are using are considered valid at the moment of writing this guide.
The steps
We take as an example the research of all the drivers for Windows XP of a VAIO PCG-C1VPK.
- The first step is to find your Sony VAIO model. Most of the times, your model's name is written on the bezel of the display. Otherwise, you should be able to find your model on the back of your machine, however most of the times the model on the bezel is more accurate.
- Now, visit https://rebyte.me/en/ and inside the search box write your model and press the search icon. NOTE: the website sometimes removes the "-" inside the computer's model, and it isn't able to recognize it with that symbol, so try both with and without the symbol. In this case, "PCG-C1VPK", is written as "PCG-C1VPK".
- If you find your model as result of the search, press on it. NOTE: sometimes there will be a slash followed by a letter (like "/W") at the end of the models' name. It is just the color of the computer (for example, "/W" means white). The drivers are identical for every color.
- You will find a list of drivers, sometimes related to many OS versions. In our case, we want to download the drivers for Windows XP, so we press on "Windows XP" in the right pane.
- Now, simply press on the drivers' link to download them.
- If you are looking for a specific driver (for example, just the Video Card Driver) and you don't know what's the application name of it, simply go to sonyvaiodriver.com, search for your laptop's model, find the driver that you are looking for, press the button "detail" next to it, and you can see the application name of it (like "VDO772AXPB.EXE" is the Video card driver for the Vaio PCGC1VPK that we are taking as an example).
Problems
